Making use of the overflow and scrollLeft DOM property to scroll elements is a much more effective use of the CPU, over animating using CSS top/left. So this episode of J4D demonstrates the same effect used in two completely different ways.
The first is a scrollable timeline. A couple of readers requested a demo of how Plurk's browse timeline works. In addition, in the last month, Google released a 10 year timeline - so I wanted to show how this works.
